To license your feature film or television program to overseas distributors,
You will need M&E tracks.

What is an M&E?
M&E is the music and effects minus the dialog. This "deliverable" consists of all the score and source music, ambiences, fully filled foley, hard effects, and sound design; EVERYTHING except the dialogue tracks. It is used as the basis for the foreign-language versions, where all the voices would be dubbed in the relevant language.

What do I need to make a M&E?
The amount of work needed in order to create a M&E, depends upon the "complete-ness" of your original audio post process. Some instances (where foley, backgrounds, and effects were created and placed within the original English Mix) the M&E can be made by re-creating your original mix and simply removing the dialog. Other cases may require adding foley, backgrounds, and or sound design to your existing elements. Some cases might require a "from scratch" approach, where all of the elements need to be created as well as all of the music be re-edited. The amount of work needed for each individual project will dictate the cost of M&E creation.
